Squeezing In Beauty Treatments In Your Lunchbreak
Amanda Lacey Signature Facial London Just walking in the door of Lacey's elegant
all-white shop and treatment room in Belgravia makes you feel more glamorous. But it's Lacey's wonderful hands, legendary skin knowledge and heavenly range of products that do the real work. Her bespoke treatment (on a blissfully heated bed) thoroughly cleanses and restores the complexion, using lymphatic drainage massage to stimulate and smooth the skin. You leave feeling a cleaner, brighter, younger you.
Aveda Deep-Tissue Massage London If you find standard massages too soft, head to Aveda. This is not for the faint-hearted; indeed the thumb, finger, palm and elbow technique used by the therapist may bring a tear to the eye. But you are closely monitored so the pressure is never too much. And it's worth it to feel your circulation boosted and those stubborn knots truly eradicated.
Half leg wax: seven minutes. Leg waxing can take time so if you're in a hurry go for the half leg to save time and stick with the knee lengths if you're going out. Obviously it will take more time if they have been neglected and less if they have not long seen a razor so factor that in.
Coco Huntman Aromatherapy Full Body Massage the Ritz, London This Romanian masseuse is many an international jetsetter's must-visit when in London. One session under her steely hands and you will understand why. She really is world-class, though not for the timid.
Facial: Ten Minutes. This might not sound like enough time for a facial but with something like a CACI's Hydratone treatment it can be quick. This treatment uses silicon like gel which contains collagen, hyaluronic acid and vitamins C and E which are massaged into the face with small slightly-electrified rollers.
Daylesford Hay Barn Signature Treatment Gloucestershire Top-to-toe best describes this treatment, from the Indian head massage down to the foot reflexology. And there is plenty more in between, such as a body scrub and facial lymphatic stimulation, all using deliciously natural Daylesford products.
Fake tan: eight minutes. Go where you like in the summer but thanks to our dismal climate that tan won't last long, fake tanning is a completely safe way of keeping the colour without risking your skin and is much quicker. Tanning formulas are no longer greasy and smelly and many salons offer an instant drying spray that won't come off on clothes and gradually fades.
Radio Frequency Therapy Tracey Bell clinic, Liverpool After a thorough assessment with the skin-analysis machine, radio frequency therapy is used to deliver heat beneath the skin's surface. Two wands mildly inflame the facial tissue, stimulating collagen growth and lifting and tightening tissues. Your body continues to produce collagen over several months, resulting in a youthful, peachy glow.
Scrub and Soak Cowshed relax spa, Babington House, Somerset Lie in your bikini on a heated sandstone slab for a dry body-brush. Follow this with a sea-salt body scrub that's both soothing and bracing. Turn over and repeat the process. Don't move - they'll shower off the lot before you clamber into a deep aromatic bath. Cue Jacuzzi action and music. Blinds open on to a view of the walled garden. Fifteen minutes later you will feel suitably soothed, your skin wonderfully soft.
